Terms & Conditions
Service Description The fundamental capabilities
of speedconferences services are to provide audio, video and
web-based conferencing services and related standard and enhanced
conferencing features (“Services”). speedconferences
may, in its sole discretion, enhance, and/or expand the features
of the Services from time to time. Customer shall provide
all user information reasonably necessary to enable speedconferences
to create user profiles for each user for whom Customer wishes
to provide access to the Services pursuant to this Agreement.
Unless indicated otherwise, as indicated in the Rate Information
of this Agreement or through a separate agreement, the Services
are charged by multiplying the number of minutes used in a
month by Customer’s per minute rate as indicated in
Rate Information of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges
that it may use certain services or features that are not
listed in the Rate Information of this Agreement and Customer
will be charged for such services and features based on speedconferences’s
standard rate or through Customer’s sales representative.
speedconferences may change rates or add new rates at any
time without providing notice to Customer, however, any rates
indicated in the Rate Information of this Agreement will remain
in effect for the term of this Agreement. speedconferences
reserves the right to reclaim any dial-in numbers provided
Customer for Services (“Dial-In Numbers”) if such
Dial-In Numbers are “inactive” for 30 days. Inactive
is defined as no usage on a specific number/service and no
upcoming events scheduled for such number/service. The Dial-In
Number will be reassigned to the Customer, upon request, only
if it continues to be available. If the Dial-In Number is
not available, Customer will be provided new dial-in numbers.
Service Security speedconferences utilizes industry-accepted
measures and standards to maintain the security and confidentiality
of Customer’s content and identifiable information.
speedconferences hosts Customer content and information on
a server that is secured by an authentication scheme and a
firewall. Customer acknowledges and agrees that speedconferences
cannot prevent and, therefore, is not responsible for inadvertent
security breaches. speedconferences cannot and does not warrant
or guarantee that third parties will not intercept, interfere
with, or access in an unauthorized manner, information or
communications sent or received as part of the Services contemplated
under this Agreement. Use of conference recording or taping
may subject Customer to State or Federal laws or regulations
(e.g., regarding the notification to participants of the use
of these features). speedconferences does not assume the responsibility
for any required notification to any conferencing participants
of the Services.
Terms and Termination
Term . The initial term of this Agreement shall be for the
service dates set forth in the Account Information of this
Agreement (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement shall
thereafter automatically renew without interruption for one
(1) year (“Renewal Term”), unless either party
gives written notice of its intent not to renew the Agreement
at least thirty (30) days before the beginning of any Renewal
Term. For purposes of this Agreement, “Term" means
the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms.
Termination for Cause . Notwithstanding any
other provision hereof, this Agreement may be terminated immediately
by either party (a) if either party has breached a material
provision of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within
thirty (30) days after written notice; (b) in the event either
party breaches any of the provisions hereof and such breach
is not curable; and (c) in the event that the either party
becomes insolvent, files any petition in bankruptcy, makes
an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or is the
subject of an involuntary bankruptcy petition which is not
set aside or withdrawn within thirty (30) days from the date
of its filing.
Early Termination by Customer . In the event
that Customer discontinues service prior to the end of the
Term, Customer shall be liable for the balance remaining.
Survival . Sections 4 and 8 - 13 of this Agreement
shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Payments, Charges and
Taxes
Payments and Charges . Each month, speedconferences will invoice
Customer for the total monthly cost of all Services based
on rates indicated on the first page of this Agreement. Payment
will be due fifteen (15) days from date of invoice. Unpaid
invoices will be subject to a monthly service charge of 1.5%
of the outstanding balance or the maximum legally allowable
interest rate, whichever is lower. Customer must notify speedconferences
of any disputed charges within ten (10) days from the date
of the invoice, otherwise Customer will be deemed to agree
to such charges and speedconferences will not be subject to
making adjustments to charges or invoices.
Unpaid Charges. In the event charges due are
not paid in full, for any reason, within thirty (15) days
from the Invoice date, speedconferences shall have the right
to suspend all or any portion of the Services until such time
as Customer has paid all undisputed charges then due to speedconferences,
including any applicable late fees. Following such payment,
speedconferences shall reinstate Services to Customer only
upon the provision by such Customer to speedconferences of
satisfactory assurance of Customer’s ability to pay
for Services and advance payment of any cost of re-instituting
Services. Such suspension shall not relieve Customer of payment
liability for all undisputed charges accrued through the date
of such suspension, and shall not relieve Customer of any
applicable Minimum Annual Commitment.
Taxes . All pricing and fees under this Agreement
do not include taxes. Customer shall pay all applicable federal,
state, county, local or other governmental taxes, fees, duties,
tolls or other charges now or hereafter imposed that are attributable
to the Services and included on Customer’s invoices.
Trademarks and Trade Names Other than use of
materials and point-of-sale items supplied by speedconferences,
Customer has no right or license to use any of the trademarks
or trade names owned by, licensed to or associated with speedconferences
(the “Marks”) during the Term of this Agreement
without express written consent from speedconferences. Despite
prior approval, Customer will immediately cease using the
Marks upon notice from speedconferences or upon termination
of this Agreement for any reason. Any use by Customer of the
Marks other than as described above will constitute a breach
of this Agreement for which, in additional to any other remedies
available at law or in equity, speedconferences may terminate
this Agreement.
Responsibility of Account Number and Password
Customer is responsible for all uses of the Services in association
with Customer’s account, whether or not authorized by
Customer. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality
of Customer’s account and owner numbers and necessary
conference codes, passwords and personal identification numbers
used in conjunction with the Services. Customer agrees to
immediately notify speedconferences of any unauthorized use
of Customer’s account of which Customer becomes aware.
Responsibility for Content of Communication
Customer is the sole owner of content and is solely responsible
for the content of all conference communications (visual,
written or audible) using Customer’s account. Customer
will not use Services to send unsolicited mass mailings, surveys,
pyramid schemes, chain letters, or contests outside Customer’s
company or organization or to any person who has not given
specified permission to be included in such a process (commercial
or otherwise). Customer agrees not to use Services to communicate
any message or material that is harassing, trade libelous,
unlawfully threatening, obscene or harmful to minors, or is
otherwise unlawful that would give rise to civil liability,
is defamatory or that constitutes or encourages conduct that
could constitute criminal offense under any applicable law
or regulation. Although speedconferences is not responsible
for any such communications, speedconferences may suspend
any such communications of which speedconferences is made
aware of and provide prompt notice to Customer. Customer acknowledges
and agrees that speedconferences does not control or monitor
Customer’s content nor guarantee the accuracy, integrity,
security or quality of Customer’s content.
